Ok. I got this jar of peanutbutter. I am NOT sure that it's tainted.. the first numbers ARE 2111.. is that the one? Well if it is.. is the whatever is in it fatal? Since.. my dad has eaten almost all of it himself. He's kinda old.. I don't want him to get really sick!!

Other states reporting cases are Alaska, Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Montana, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin and West Virginia.
These are the states other than Georgia that the cases have been reported in.
Just watch for symptoms of diarrhea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting. If he starts to have any of those, then he needs to go to the ER . The case does need to be reported if he does fall ill
Salmonella does not necessarily kill, there are several reported cases every year and most people survive it. It's just miserable as heck and you wish that you were dead.
The brands of peanut butter that were effected were Walmart's Great Value and Peter Pan.

Yep...that's the one! People have gotten sick and even needed a trip to the hospital but no one has died. Watch your dad for diarrhea and get him to the doctor before it gets out of hand.

Throw it out now.
Then go to the site below and search for salmonella. Watch your father for the symptoms.

Why are you so parinoid? Just because you buy peanut butter doesn't mean its dangrous. I, myself, like peanut butter and I am perfectly healthy.

the only way peanut butter will kill you is if the knife you use to spread it on the bread slips and cuts your throat
